Light therapy for widespread chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a whole-body light treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce widespread chronic pain. It may help if you have long-lasting, widespread pain and can safely use the device for about 6 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and can sign a consent form
- You have a diagnosis of widespread chronic pain or fibromyalgia, or you’re already being treated for widespread pain
- You can attend and keep up with the treatment schedule for 6 weeks
- You can use the device and lie flat for 20 minutes without being unable to (for example, not due to severe claustrophobia or physical limitations)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe skin problems (like severe eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or skin cancer)

This trial tests whether a non-invasive light therapy called photobiomodulation can reduce chronic pain and fatigue in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a genetic condition affecting connective tissue. The light is applied to the skin and may help cells produce energy and reduce inflammation.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (called photobiomodulation) can reduce knee pain and inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you qualify, you might receive either active light therapy or a sham (inactive) treatment to see if it helps with your chronic knee pain.
This study tests a non-drug therapy called biophoton therapy to see if it can reduce chronic severe arthritis pain. It may be an option if you've had pain for at least 3 months and are not using certain medical implants.
This study tests whether using brighter light bulbs in your home can help reduce chronic pain. You'd use special light bulbs for two hours a day over two weeks to see if they ease your pain and fatigue.
This study tests a special light therapy applied to the whole body to see how light bounces off different skin areas. It may help future treatments that use light for healing or pain relief.
This study tests a special light therapy called photobiomodulation (light applied to the skin) to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. You would receive this treatment on your knee after surgery, and it aims to help you recover with less pain and fewer opioids.
